Are you looking for a way to breathe life into your home? Incorporating clever touches of greenery will liven up any space. Follow these handy tips on how to add more plants to your décor.
Grow your herbs inside
Growing your herbs in a garden patch is a thing of the past – your kitchen is the perfect spot to start your indoor herb garden. Not only will it uplift your kitchen area and add a fantastic green contrast to plain cupboards and empty countertops, but you can use your herbs to create delicious meals. Your small pots of fresh oregano, chillies, rosemary and even lemongrass will spice up your dishes and kitchen décor.

Create a succulent centrepiece
Decorate your bedroom with low-maintenance plants like succulents to create an atmosphere that is tranquil and serene. The last thing you need is to let difficult-to-take-care-of plants disturb your peace (looking at you, orchids). Succulents come in assorted sizes, and you won’t have to worry about a rigorous watering schedule for them to thrive. Add some of your favourite small succulent species in a shallow bowl to make a centrepiece and place it on your nightstand to liven up your bedroom.
Create a spa-like vibe in your bathroom
Besides improving the air quality, packing your bathroom with plants provides adds style and an instant spa-like feel. Those long baths and hot showers make your bathroom the most humid room in your house – creating the perfect environment for your plants to flourish. Fiddle leaf figs thrive on sunlight and will look beautiful on your windowsill. Don’t have a window? ZZ (short for Zamioculcas zamiifolia) plants grow best in low-light areas and only need water when the soil is dry. Window or not, adding flowers to your bathroom will add peaceful features to start your day right!

Add (small) trees for lush greenery
Who said you only have to plant your trees in the garden? Whether you have a big or small living room, make a statement and add a pop of colour by introducing a small tree to your décor. Tall plants are also the perfect living greenery, as they can fill in your corners and tower over a sofa without taking up too much space. Make sure to research how tall the tree grows before bringing it indoors. The weeping fig is a great choice to add lush leaves to your living area, as it makes do with moderate watering and can survive in low light.
